Well, this may or may not happen. I would hate for the Clean
team to release sources based solely on that prospect. I remember Eric
Iverson claiming that one of the reasons why they (i.e., J Software)
stopped making source for J available at one point is that they
got nothing in return, i.e., nobody ever submitted enhancements
or fixes as a result. There are several possible explanations for 
this, but then such was the state of affairs.
